Nani's Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast
This tender pot roast is a family favorite because it is incredibly easy to make and tastes like it cooked all day.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like coming home to the smell of a hearty roast waiting for you in the kitchen. This Mississippi Pot Roast is special because it uses a tangy mix of peppers and spices that make the meat fall apart on your fork every single time.
My secret tip for this dish is to make sure you use a good quality chuck roast with plenty of marbling. The fat is what keeps the beef juicy while it slowly cooks in the juices. You can serve this over mashed potatoes or with a side of steamed vegetables.
🧺 Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pound beef chuck roast
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix

💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This meat also freezes beautifully if you want to save some for a busy weeknight. I love serving this on soft rolls for a quick sandwich the next day.
